Blogging and News-reporting

What else is the difference between an ordinary blogger and a practising journalist: Let’s simplify: Bloggers will sometimes paste selfies on their posts, a practising journalist who does this on a news report will get a hollering  “What the h_ _ are you doing?!!!” from the editors. A blogger sometimes inserts himself or herself or his or her personal opinions in the story, a practising journalist who does this will get a screaming : “Who the h_ _ do you think you are?!!!” from his/her editors.
